Perfect Mod and Perfect Timing for my Horror Operation on Halloween, big Thank you and very nice work, hopefully more is in planning. 👌

[hybrid vortex]

I want to overhaul Everon and Arland, but the best I can do is material overrides, I can't even change the Atmosphere.emat otherwise Cursed Everon and Arland would be out. I might still do it anyway, idk. Without being able to change the lighting, Its hard to do much else to set the mood of the environment. Blood rivers and ocean, and fall colored trees just don't cut it for me.

[fiery kiln]

Mod looks like it works well, be good if could have it as just enemy factions though

[hybrid vortex]

I'll probably make singuler replacements; like US only, USSR only, FIA only, etc.

Or something like that.

[cedar marlin]

Good mod

[flint sequoia]

@hybrid vortex anything else in the works

[hybrid vortex]

Nothing else at this current moment

[boreal dew]

As a proud skeleton, well done, this is perfect

[dawn sparrow]

What uniform mod is that bro?

[hollow cloud]

What’s the shemagh from?

[cedar marlin]

@hollow cloud @dawn sparrow
Shemagh is from modular equipment pack, helmets from a mod called "us army", shirts and vest from task force mattock shit and pants and boots from vergys military clothing

And the helf mask from 104th wolfpack

[dawn sparrow]

Thx

[trim girder]

Would it be possible to see some sort of skinwalker or wendigo in terms of viability?

[hybrid vortex]

Finally I have found where the moon params are stored! 🥹

[nimble bridge]

Very nice work on this Mod big Thank you

[hybrid vortex]

My halloween overhaul is done and uploaded. Should set the mood for any map. https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/5EB7536BA1AEDEDE-CursedReforger

[boreal dew]

Man Everon in fall looks really nice

[zealous olive]

should add random screams in ambient noise for trollz

[grand shuttle]

Cool mod, would be interesting to see more mods that retextured everon to match different seasons like this

[radiant hull]

Idk which ones look better so I’ll post both

[timid dust]

Hey @hybrid vortex so turns out that the haunted everon affects all maps, behold haunted Kunar

[hybrid vortex]

Yea, Since I can't make edits of everon and arland, I have to do material overrides, so it applies to any map that uses reforger assets I overriden.

[timid dust]

Dude I fucking love it lol

[hybrid vortex]

😁

I plan on adding sounds, That'll probably show up in the experimental version of the mod tho. So far I've only changed out lightning/thunder sounds.

[stray jewel]

Guys, I've made a testing mod also... To bring zombies along with bloody skeletons. Basically I utilize the skeleton base mod and applied the AI of zombies in it so there are both zombies and skeletons with red eyes chausng you. Skeletons are like mini bosses tho

[hybrid vortex]

Oh neat, How well do they work?

[stray jewel]

I've made the specifically for my Halloween op for tonight... The ai is taken from RAVAGE mod, it works pretty well. They run towards the player as soon as they spot him and walk towards sounds to search

[steel sequoia]

Does the assets mod work currently or is it WIP?

[hybrid vortex]

the assets mod just has the assets, It doesn't change or add new characters.

[steel sequoia]

What about the environment change and colored lightning?

Is the only way to have the environment changes is to have the skeleton character replacements?

We are working on ambient sounds and Halloween FXs for a Halloween event and was just wondering if there was a Environment only version so you didn’t have to be a skeleton.

[hybrid vortex]

No, The environment changes and such is in the Cursed Reforger addon

I try to keep things seperate now, so modders can use what they want to use and not have to worry about a bunch of other stuff added.

[hollow cloud]

Hey Comrade, I’ll be hosting Halloween conflict events on my DarkGru servers Monday night and Tuesday night! Your more than free to stop by! We’ll be using your mods for it atleast the environment one!

[hybrid vortex]

Sure, Sounds like it'd be fun.

[hollow cloud]

Let me know if you end up making it in! If you join!

[stray jewel]

just had one of the craziest operation ever with my group with these things lol

also added this mod and shit was a nightmare to play against lol

[hybrid vortex]

I hope in a good way. lol

[stray jewel]

yeah good way def lol... Only issue I've found is that when utilizing the bloody skeletons when someone shoots them causes some clients to crash... I had to change them back to standard skels....

[hybrid vortex]

Hmm. I'll have to look into that, could be something up with the mesh

[topaz monolith]

The blood moon on Chernarus is perfect

[stray jewel]

nothing wrong with your models mate...seems like my tweaks to make skeletons more though caused the crashes...I increased health for both resilience and health...this caused the crashes.. I wanted to make bloody skeletons like bosses lol

[stray jewel]

nvm..sti crashes now even with standard damage...dont know..

[stray jewel]

is anyone else experiencing issues with skeletons ? even the standard one makes me crash

[hybrid vortex]

Not sure, Is it something specific that your doing that causes the crash?

[stray jewel]

shotting them

when we shoot them the person whos gamemaster crashes (thats me lol)

[flint sequoia]

worked for me yesterday

[stray jewel]

The boys experience lots of lag when shooting skels...I as a gm crash the game. it freezes arma and have to reboot it. I play on PC

[hollow cloud]

We have the mod working on DarkGru currently both servers packed at 64

I think it’s a conflcition on your end and I’m not sure what

[stray jewel]

Mods you're using??

[nimble bridge]

On my Conflict this mod worked aswell

70+ mods

[stray jewel]

Wtf

I have 40ish mods and game crashes

[nimble bridge]

Which mods?
Some random mods crashed my Server a week ago

[stray jewel]

found the issue...it was the TF LMATTOCK BLUFOROPFOR MOD

[cunning quest]

Is this mod still available?

[flint sequoia]

I wish

[cunning quest]

Man it be cool if we still had this

[flint sequoia]

Fax

[cunning quest]

Is it cuz of the new update or the owner put it down?

[hybrid vortex]

Update

I still have the files to these so I might update it to 1.0

[cunning quest]

Oh so there still a chance then

Excited to see this come out

[half raven]

Plz

[half raven]

Any updates?

[hybrid vortex]

I'll see about updating it this weekend

[flint sequoia]

Yessssss

[flint sequoia]

How’s it coming along @hybrid vortex

[hybrid vortex]

Both the Skeleton Assets and Allfactions mod should be updated; I'm updating Cursed reforger right now.

I still have to test it so I don't know if everything works, but it should be working.

Okay Cursed Reforger should be updated

[cunning quest]

Thank you

[cunning quest]

Will you still be adding more to this mod or will you just leave it here?

[flint sequoia]

@hybrid vortex 👆👆👆

[hybrid vortex]

I'll probably expand on it, atleast the cosmetics and maybe a new faction mod. Nothing super fancy for the time being. Guaranteed more activity with this mods around October.

[flint sequoia]

👍ok👍

[regal ember]

@hybrid vortex any chance of a mod or your skeleton where it adds just a ai that can be placed.
instead of automatically replacing everyone.
that way players are normal then there can be skeleton ai that GMs can place

[trim girder]

^

[hybrid vortex]

Sure, I did plan on making a seperate standalone faction for the skeletons; Figured I would call it something like Army of Darkness, or Undead Army; I'd be giving the faction some extra stuff too, Like old medieval armor and such, along with other variants or skins of skeletons(Old/Yellowed, Burned/Blackend, Bleached/Whiteish, Bloody/Red. etc.) as well as different head models for variety. I don't know much of anything programming, so making zombie ai is off the table for this. I'd also like to do some melee weapons too like swords and other things for them as well. but idk how to do any of that either. So they'd end up using guns and stuff like normal AI if I were to make this pack.

[cunning quest]

That would be sick

[regal ember]

At least to start. There is a mod called Functional Knives and it has a sword.
Could use that as a dependency, until you make your own weapons if you decide too.
also. Would love a quick single skeleton ai before the rest if possible. Already have a mission in mind and a single one would be perfect. And a good start for the mod. Then variations and such later on

[hybrid vortex]

The mod you mentioned is a pretty good start, could use it for that, only issue is. The vanilla AI don't seem to use melee. Which is kind of weird, I thought they could? Right now it seems when they see an enemy and they don't have a gun, they just run away. Which isn't promising behavior.

[regal ember]

I know they will sometimes hit you with their gun if they are put of ammo and/or touch you.
idk about the actual melee weapons though. I haven't tried that

[marble horizon]

I know forever ago the Ravage mod sort of solved that problem, but I have no idea how it could be replicated to have them Melee only

[flint sequoia]

See if you can use the functional knives mod and make them only use swords

If not I bet whatever you do will still be amazing

[regal ember]

Yeah. They don't have to have weapons. Especially not to start.
just start with a single spawnable ai skeleton with no weapon.
then go from there

[flint sequoia]

You could even give them the these guns https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/614E293110CA0983-ShadysTrenchGun

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/5DBAB91070DB7992-Blunderbuss

[flint sequoia]

Do any of these seem appealing to you? @hybrid vortex

[cunning quest]

I think this would be best

[flint sequoia]

FAX

[merry nymph]

Awesome, can't wait to test them out. Will go with my Black Division themed OPS.

[regal ember]

I would say keep it to a smaller weapon mod if one is used as a dependency.
a bigger pack will just have weapons that half the servers using it won't need or want.
One Smaller weapon will do. Something like functional knives for melee and/or the blunderbuss (if it's still working properly after several game updates).
Maybe a different older gun if not the blunderbuss. Like make the ppsh or something

[flint sequoia]

Any news?

[hybrid vortex]

If I were to use any mods as depencies, I want to use small ones. Honestly, I'd like to make some of my own. Some skeleton crossbow troops would be pretty cool, idk if anyone has done a crossbow yet.

[regal ember]

Not seen a crossbow on the workshop.
that'd be cool though.
I'd love to just see them in game as game master placeable ai. Even if they are unarmed at first.
Or just use like a custom textured base game ak that's like rusty or something.
just get it out then play with it and update when you can.

[flint sequoia]

NEWS??????

[hybrid vortex]

No news so far, I was working on some medieval helmet stuff, but it looks like crap.

[flint sequoia]

Send pics plz

[flint sequoia]

Any news

It’s almost Halloween time

[royal bronze]

its not even september

[flint sequoia]

🤷‍♀️

[shell vigil]

Love Cursed Reforger.....We're running it on our server right now with Zombies and your Skeletons! Can't wait to see what you do with them this year! Awesome work, Comrade!

[merry nymph]

Do you have a link for the Skeletons mod you are using?

[silver solar]

following for zombie and skeletons @shell vigil

[silver solar]

woudl this work well with dead everon?

[shell vigil]

Sure, man. https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/61FF330C33B62CBB-USSRSkeletons ComradeBear's "Skeletonassets" is a dependency. It's not apparent which ones the Skeletons are, but they are found in the last pages of gm and look like vanilla Russian Soldiers.

[shell vigil]

The Zombie mod we're using is "Just Zombies". He's got them working pretty well now. Big fun and, as noted above on the Skeletons.

[merry nymph]

Thanks 👍

[shell vigil]

You're welcome!

[silver solar]

Thanks man !

[hybrid vortex]

probably, Cursed Reforger just replaces some textures and edits base game materials, etc. So it should work fine.

[hybrid vortex]

Probably nothing new this year, Theres stuff I'd like to do, but don't know how to do it and don't have the time and motivation to do it either.
